The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine which anion (X^-, Y^2-, or Z^3-) will precipitate first upon the addition of AgNO3 to the solution. We will do this by calculating the concentration of Ag^+ ions required to initiate the precipitation of each anion based on their respective solubility products (K_sp). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Anions and Their K_sp Values**: - X^-: K_sp(AgX) = 9 × 10^(-14) - Y^2-: K_sp(Ag2Y) = 4.9 × 10^(-21) - Z^3-: K_sp(Ag3Z) = 5.12 × 10^(-29) 2. **Calculate the Required Ag^+ Concentration for Precipitation of X^-**: - The solubility product expression for AgX is: \[ K_{sp}(AgX) = [Ag^+][X^-] \] - Rearranging gives: \[ [Ag^+] = \frac{K_{sp}(AgX)}{[X^-]} = \frac{9 \times 10^{-14}}{10^{-6}} = 9 \times 10^{-8} \, M \] 3. **Calculate the Required Ag^+ Concentration for Precipitation of Y^2-**: - The solubility product expression for Ag2Y is: \[ K_{sp}(Ag2Y) = [Ag^+]^2[Y^{2-}] \] - Rearranging gives: \[ [Ag^+] = \sqrt{\frac{K_{sp}(Ag2Y)}{[Y^{2-}]}} = \sqrt{\frac{4.9 \times 10^{-21}}{10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{4.9 \times 10^{-15}} \approx 7 \times 10^{-8} \, M \] 4. **Calculate the Required Ag^+ Concentration for Precipitation of Z^3-**: - The solubility product expression for Ag3Z is: \[ K_{sp}(Ag3Z) = [Ag^+]^3[Z^{3-}] \] - Rearranging gives: \[ [Ag^+] = \sqrt[3]{\frac{K_{sp}(Ag3Z)}{[Z^{3-}]}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{5.12 \times 10^{-29}}{10^{-6}}} = \sqrt[3]{5.12 \times 10^{-23}} \approx 8 \times 10^{-8} \, M \] 5. **Compare the Required Ag^+ Concentrations**: - For X^-: 9 × 10^(-8) M - For Y^2-: 7 × 10^(-8) M - For Z^3-: 8 × 10^(-8) M 6. **Determine Which Anion Precipitates First**: - The lowest concentration of Ag^+ required is for Y^2- (7 × 10^(-8) M). Therefore, Y^2- will precipitate first. ### Final Answer: Y^2- will precipitate first upon the addition of AgNO3.
